A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Be the ball! Enjoy the scenery, but remember to head for the pins!

In this licensed modern reimplementation of HyperBowl, the bowling game launched in the Airtight Garage of the Sony Metreon in 1999, all six original lanes (Classic, Rome, Forest, High Seas, San Francisco, Tokyo) plus several new ones are now available here for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows .

HyperBowl is also available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, on Steam for macOS and Windows, and a WebGL (browser) version is on GameJolt but only includes the Classic and Rome lanes.

Controls

On Mac/Windows/WebGL, roll the ball using AWSD or arrow keys. ESC to pause. The Mac and Windows versions can also use a mouse/trackpad to push the ball, but that doesn't seem to work well in the webplayers.

On mobile devices, swipe the screen to roll the ball (pro tip: longer swipes to roll with more force). Pinch to pause on iOS, back button on Android to pause.

Platform Notes

Roll around the original six HyperBowl lanes and some new ones. Enjoy the scenery, but remember to head for the pins! Play 1-4 players in the original Arcade Mode or quick-play in single-player mode.

1. Download HyperBowl for iOS to be the ball. Bowl around the richly imaginative six fantasy lanes of the original attraction game: the eerie Classic lane, ancient Rome, an. Join or Sign In Sign in.
2. With a setup for multi camera production in live environments, the HYPERBOWL is designed for live productions like press conferences or product presentations. But within seconds you can change the locations of your presenter to whatever you want – all broadcasted via satellite, livestream or live on tape.

On macOS Catalina or later, double-clicking the game will show an 'unverified developer' warning. You can run the game by control-clicking on the game and selecting Open fron the menu.

On Android, Chrome will always complain about downloading Android apps outside Google Play, but any other browser should be OK.

Arcade Edition

The Arcade Edition downloads on this page are of the original Hyper Entertainment version for Windows 98 to XP (not the version actually in arcades), no longer supported but included here for those who want to try to it on modern PCs. Good luck with that! License keys are not included.
